Survey for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in Latvian Water Frogs

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2022
We used quantitative PCR to detect Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) in 135 samples of Pelophylax esculentus complex water frogs from 41 Latvian populations. We detected Bd in 18 populations of water frogs. None of the samples was positive for Bsal.

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Kansas

Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science, 2021
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has been implicated in the decline of amphibians worldwide and was first noted in Kansas in 2014 in Kingman and Sedgwick Counties. The objectives of this study were to further assess the presence of Bd throughout the state.

Systematic approach to isolating Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2018
We developed a protocol for isolating the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) from anurans. We sampled skin tissues from 2 common treefrogs, Pseudacris regilla and P. triseriata, collected from populations with high infection prevalence.

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

2015
Abstract Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a fungal pathogen that infects many different amphibian species, driving some of them to extinction. ‘Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis’ considers the physiology and natural history of this emerging pathogen; its discovery in the late 1990s in Australia and Central America; and the concepts ...

Batrachochytrium fungi: stealth invaders in amphibian skin

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2021
Amphibian populations around the world have been affected by two pathogenic fungi within the phylum Chytridiomycota. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has infected hundreds of species and led to widespread declines and some species extinctions. Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) has devastated some native European salamanders, especially the ...

Fluorescent Microscopy of Viable Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Journal of Parasitology, 2012
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( Bd ), a chytrid fungus, is a causative agent of chytridiomycosis and amphibian population declines worldwide. The sequenced genome of Bd provides information necessary for studying the fungus and its molecular biology. Fluorescent microscopy is a technique used to image targeted molecules in live or fixed organisms to ...

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Chytridiomycosis in Anuran Amphibians of Colombia

EcoHealth, 2008
In order to investigate the possible presence of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Chytridiomycota: Chytridiales) in frogs (Amphibia: Anura) of Colombia, we made a retrospective examination of formalin-fixed specimens preserved in natural history collections.

Drivers of salamander extirpation mediated by Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans

Nature, 2017
The recent arrival of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in Europe was followed by rapid expansion of its geographical distribution and host range, confirming the unprecedented threat that this chytrid fungus poses to western Palaearctic amphibians.

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Occurrence in Eurycea cirrigera

Southeastern Naturalist, 2008
Abstract Several pathogens affect amphibians, but a chytridiomycete fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, is of particular interest because this pathogen is linked to localized amphibian population declines and extinction of species. Species-specific infections and pathogen distribution are poorly understood, particularly in members of Caudata.
